August 29 in Poznan at ul. Saint Martin held a protest against the head of the restaurant
"Wanda's Cuisine" and "Sugomi Sushi", whose former employees and employees accuse them of
not paying their outstanding wages, not concluding written contracts, non-payment of wages
on time and intimidation. About 30 people took part in the picket, including
representatives and representatives of the Commission working in the IP Gastronomy,
working in other restaurants and eateries. ---- Injured by the head of the above
restaurants can be at least 23 people. In fact, he made all staff decisions and deals with
management in both restaurants, although they formally employed employees of various
economic entities. Claims of only 7 people due to unpaid wages amount to at least PLN
100,000 zl. These persons sent out final pre-litigation requests, which have so far proved
ineffective. Employees have proofs in the form of min. list of attendance. The Labor
Inspectorate notified by them was forced to suspend control, because - according to PIP
letters from April this year. of the injured party addressed to the lawyer - the employer
did not submit documents at the request of the Labor Inspectorate, necessary to establish
the facts. PIP wrote:

In "Wanda's Kitchen" and "Sugomi Sushi" some worked on contracts of employment, others on
junk contracts, even though the basis of their employment should be a contract of
employment. Health insurance contributions were not always paid. Salaries were not paid
out on time very often, and arrears were repaid in installments - according to one of the
victims: "Each of us was afraid that he would not receive his pay for hard work. I worked
until mid-March 2018, and I received the last payday for January, in installments of PLN
500. " Employees also claim that they have paid the goods out of their own money, and the
company has a number of debts to numerous entities, including suppliers.

When some employees in March this year made a termination notice pursuant to art. 55 of
the Labor Code in the event of the employer committing a serious violation of the basic
duties to the employee, their former boss replied with intimidation and insults, and then
began to avoid contact with the injured, not paying the dues. The intimidation case was
reported to the police. There are other victims who do not want to demand overdue salaries
for fear of the boss.

During the picket, all receivables were immediately repaid. Representatives and
representatives of our union who worked in other bars and restaurants also spoke,
underlining - as is clear from their many years of experience - the violation of workers'
rights in gastronomy is on the agenda.
